Hi Jade, thanks for the feedback on the poem. I just wanted to play around with language and words to begin with, then this character emerged. He was inspired by a character in the Danish TV series, Forbrydelsen - Theis Birk Larsen played by Bjarne Henriksen. He has such a physical presence in the show, and his brooding, menacing intensity steals a lot of his scenes. Anyway I was kind of thinking of him at times when I wrote this. Thanks for visiting :)

Hi again, Mark. I wanted to mention that the "Blush of Dawn" blog you have on your link list was a site I once owned but don't anymore. It seems it's turned into a digital camera site. My current Blush of Dawn site is jadebennington.blogspot.com :)
